Create Multilingual Forms for a Global Audience

November 06, 2013

We’ve just released a translation tool for your forms to help you reach a global audience much better. It will help your visitors control the form language which in return, bring you higher conversion and satisfaction rates.

With a single click, your forms can now be translated to multiple languages. Once the automated translation is done you might might want to review the translation and fix any issues manually. The customization tool allows you to edit the translated languages easily.

Don’t worry about form warnings

All warning/error messages are also translated from English to the preferred language automatically. You can also customize the form warnings any way you want.

How to make your forms multilingual

1. Edit an existing form or create a new one

2. Go to the Setup & Embed tab and click Languages

3. Select and add desired languages

4. View fields/warnings that haven’t been translated in the language customization wizard

Your form is ready to go beyond cultural boundaries. Set up the translator right now and enjoy receiving a global audience and more accurate data. Give it a try today and share your experience in the comments section below.

Can I display my form in only one language a time without display the language selector? I explain better: I have a form setting in Jotform with two language (English+Italian). I'd like to display the from only in English (without language selector) inside my English page and I'd like to display the form only in Italian inside my Italian page (without language selector). Is there a parameter to add to the line

I'm trying to get the form working in more than two languages (spanish and french in addition to english) but even if it seems to save the changes then it goes back to only english. I have done the translations twice, anche changed and saved each field, but still doesn't work. HELP! Anyhow great idea!

Hello,I have been playing around with this a little and once I corrected all of the warnings, there was still some text on the form that was coming up still in English even though I had submitted a the translated version. Also, in the form I was working on, we have a an HTML text box with a lot of information but none of it had been translated and it was prompted to me in the warning area to correct translation for it.

GREAT! I was waiting for this feature and it just comes right on time! But I think it would be better if the form picks the correct language depending on the user settings (system language, browser language). Conversions will increase even more.

I wish I could choose another language that there is not actually available. In our country the two main languages are the Spanish and Basque. I would really like to customize our forms in those two languages. Will it be possible soon? Thanks and congratulations!
